Despite some of the worst quarterback play in the league last year, Britt, the 9th year vet, was able to put up low end WR2 numbers for the Rams. For a guy that likely went undrafted in many leagues in 2016, Britt was a strong fantasy value. He came out of a career long funk to set career highs in yardage and receptions . Considered a big bust for much of his career, Britt was able to parlay the big year into a multi-year deal with the Browns. Britt is the kind of player Cleveland needs during its rebuild. He's a veteran with enough juice left to be an asset, but won't take away from the opportunities of the younger guys. He gives the Cleveland quarterbacks a big target who can get downfield and get open. Unfortunately for fantasy purposes, it's likely that 2016 will be Britt's career year, so expecting a WR2 repeat is bad business. I think he ends up being a fine WR3/4 with very little upside for more. I'd certainly be looking for higher ceiling players around the time Britt's name gets called in my drafts.

Corey Coleman's right hand is in fact broken again and will need surgery this time, a source told cleveland.com. Coleman visited a hand specialist (Monday), and the fracture was confirmed.
It's the same hand that Coleman broke last season in practice after week two and caused him to miss six games. The original injury healed without surgery, and Coleman was back on the field at midseason. This one will require surgery. (The Cleveland Plain-Dealer)

FFToday's Take:Coleman has been snake-bitten with injuries since entering the league in 2016, as suffering a fracture in the same hand at roughly the same time in consecutive seasons will attest. With Kenny Britt doing next to nothing so far, it might be up to Week 2 breakout receiver Rashard Higgins to live up to his "Hollywood" nickname. Higgins may be the hottest add in leagues this week.

Another broken hand for Corey ColemanNot known if surgery will be requiredBy: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 18, 10:30 am

Corey Coleman's right hand is in fact broken again, a source told cleveland.com. Coleman visited a hand specialist today, and the fracture was confirmed. It's the same hand that Coleman broke last season in practice after week two and caused him to miss six games, but it's not yet known if it's the same bone or if he'll need surgery. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

FFToday's Take:Fashioned by some as a fantasy sleeper just a week or two ago and signed a four-year, $32.5 million contract in March, Britt finished with one catch for 13 yards in his Browns' debut and was out-targeted by fellow starter Corey Coleman 14-6. Even if Jackson drops the hammer and doesn't start Britt in Week 2, Cleveland doesn't have much else at receiver to keep him on the bench for long. Still, he needs to be on fantasy benches in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Hue Jackson will have to plan his passing attack around his wideouts, his top two tight ends in Seth DeValve and David Njoku, and his all-purpose back in Duke Johnson, who has been lining up as a slot receiver. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

FFToday's Take:With Corey Coleman and Kenny Britt likely to hold down the two outside receiving spots, there's speculation among the Browns beat reporters that Johnson could replace Andrew Hawkins as the primary slot receiver. Johnson's rushing attempts dropped from 104 in 2015 to 74 in 2016. Increased time in slot would boost Johnson's value in PPR leagues where's he's currently being drafted in Round 10.
